Getting Started
Trap Settings
OcuTrap’s settings allow you to customize and control every aspect of your trap’s operation, notifications, and hardware features.
Main Settings
On the main trap settings page, you can:
- Change the Trap Name – Personalize each trap for easy identification.
- Add Notes to the trap – Add more detail to trap
- Set Notifications – Choose how you want to receive alerts for errors, captures, and important events.
- Adjust Capture Distance – Set how far inside the trap an animal must be to trigger the door.
- Change Image Size – Select the photo resolution for captured images.
Advanced / More Settings
By clicking More Settings, you can access advanced configuration options, including:
- Battery Type – Select which battery your trap uses (5,200 mAh or 10,000 mAh). The app adjusts the low-battery alert thresholds to match your pack automatically.
- Accessory Controls – Enable or disable accessory ports and set their timing.
- Enhanced Door Closing – Improve lock reliability by enabling automatic door re-locking.
- Pre-capture Notifications – Get alerts and images when an animal nears the trap, before capture
- Distance limits, sensor alerts & errors – App preset table, 6 in expanded zone, dirty-sensor arm gate + 5 min retry
- Camera Controls – Set up time lapse, image quality, and night vision thresholds.
- Sensor Settings – Adjust capture distance and infrared brightness.
- Temperature Alerts – Turn temperature alerts on or off. (Battery alerts are always on, with thresholds set automatically from your Battery Type — there are no manual battery voltage or percentage controls.)
Each of these setting can be adjusted for each individual trap. All changes are applied when trap is connected. This will usually take about 1-5 minutes.
